This pub dates back to 1891 and is a renovated Marston's pub. It has a limited cask ale range with regular beers from Marston's, Wainwright and Wychwood. It has added a full menu and serves food every day. It has two rooms both with real/log fires. The pub still retains a bowling green supporting about six teams. There are outside drinking areas to both the front and rear of the pub enhanced by excellent floral displays, Live music also features at the weekend and a there is a weekly quiz.
Originally two houses and extended to the right with changes pre-war (?or just post-war) it had three rooms and a number of original fittings. As you walk in there is a small counter with a drawer and cupboards in it - which looks like more modern infill woodwork. Doorway (actually an enlarged gap) to a room on the right with a carpet over a parquet floor, 1930s fixed seating all around and an inappropriate Victorian-style fireplace added recently. The two left hand rooms have been combined with walls removed in c.2006. There is a small section of 1930s fixed seating to the left of the entrance, then more inter-war U-shaped fixed seating. The parquet floor confirms changes to the layout. Another Victorian tiled, cast-iron and wood surround fireplace (but must be a later addition). The bar counter could be from the 1930s, the bar back fitting certainly looks like 1930s with some post war changes such as mirror backing. The wall above two sections of fixed seating was removed by Marstons builders on police instructions and the licensee replaced most of it to create two cosy corners. At the rear is a bowling green and still an active Bowling Club.
